IIPPERARY

The assize reports continue to show
the same monotony Of CONGRATULATIONS
from judges and halycon times for jury
men. Especially noteworthy are the
facts with regard to North Tipperary.
That county may be taken as typical OF
those regions where, according to the
l.. L. p. u. and the Chief Secretary, the
negation Of all civilization at present
prevails for the North Tipperary far
mers are as sturdy in enforcing their
rights as those of any other part of Ire
land. But what is the character OF
North Tipperary, as depicted by Mr.
Justice Harrison? There was nothing
serious, said his Lordship, TO go before
the grand jury, save one case wherein
a lunatic was charged with having
caused the death of his wife; and he
felt very happy at being able to con-
gratulate them on the peaceful state Of
their fine and important county. This
state of affairs, added his Lordship, he
hoped might long continue. 70 this
aspiration we may add our own belief
that chat depends largely on the action
of the landlords and the administrators
Of the Coercion act.

WEXFORD.

The eviction campaign on the Brooke
estate at Coo|greany has begun with a
ferocity not inferior to that of Glen
beigh. In some Of their incidents the
evictions surpassed even those in the
that famous region, III their exasperat-
ing tendency and their almost direct in
citement to open resistance by the peo-
pie. Brutal beyond all description was
the conduct of the ruffians employed by
Captain Hamilton to carry out the
dirty work. = hey beat men and woman
in most barbarous fashion, and
smashed the furniture and other prop
erty of the evicted tenants in a way
which could hardly be surpassed by
Huns or Red sIndians. One Of them,
the notorious ruffian. Woods, in pre-
sence of several spectators actually
struck the Rev. DR.. Dillon because he
interfered to prevent the sconudrels
from going On with their Wanton d.
struction Of tenants prop rtv. This
was too much for one Of the policemen
who dealt Wouds staggering blow in
return. Were 1t not for the efforts Of
the priests the conduct of the Emer
gency rabble must certainly have
stirred the people to such retaliation as
their enemies thirst for as an excuse
for bloody battle. The proceedings
fini he'd up with a genuine Glenbaigh
performance-the burning by the bail
ifs of the house of one Of the eyicte0
tenants-Pat Grennell. This was most
wantonl set on fire, after the eviction
had been effected. Captain Slacke. r.
NJ. who was in command Of the mill
tary and police, behaved in most pro-
vokiDg and ungentlemanly way
throughout. He distinctly refused to
prevent Captain HamiIton's rufians
from offering violence TO priests and
people, and he endeavored to get the
priests put off the gro nd. This, how
ever, Fatber Murphy sturdily refused
to allow, and dared him to molest him
or his curates in his own parish.

Of eleven large monkeys OF the semi

about twenty-six. J. B. Park, near

James Guthrie, of Shelbyville, KY,

They do the work better than the me-

Of the monkeys on an average is about
$6O each. They are brought direct
from Capetown, South Africa, to PEN
sacola, Fla, and from there to Licking
